The meeting, long sought by Pyongyang, will be the first ever between a serving United States president and a North Korean leader, and will focus on the nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles the North has spent decades developing.

President Donald Trump will leave his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un earlier than expected according to the White House, because talks regarding nuclear weapons are going better than anticipated.

Many lawmakers from both parties, while unready to declare the summit a diplomatic victory or defeat, remained skeptical the US could successfully negotiate a deal toward peace with Kim - but are letting the process play out.

Kim also proved to be a secret night owl, stunning onlookers in Singapore by going on an unannounced night-time prowl of the city sights, accompanied by a horde of aides and security officers. Suspending the "war games" could harm USA security interests in the region, which would create tension between the US and its allies. "Our forces in South Korea are stabilizing for Asia". "And they're not ready if they can not exercises".

And of course, Trump being Trump, there's no guarantee he'll adhere to the agreements set out in the joint statement, and no assurance he won't ruin everything with a tweet after seeing coverage he doesn't like on TV.
